Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in the degree of lumbopelvic instability

Change in the degree of lumbopelvic instability will be measured by specific tests(The dip test, the runner pose test and the single leg squat test) and the pateint performance will be graded as poor or good

Time frame: change in the lumbopelvic instability degree will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of the interventions

lumbopelvic range of motion

Degree of lumbopelvic range of motion will be measured by goniometer

Time frame: change in the lumbopelvic instability degree will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of the interventions

Secondary Outcomes

severity of pain intensity

change in low back pain intensity will be measured using visual analogue scale(VAS) low back pain intensity

Time frame: change in the lumbopelvic instability will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of the interventions

the degree of function disability

the change in the degree of function disability will be measured by Oswestry disability index (ODI)

Time frame: change in the lumbopelvic instability will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of the interventions
